would the average american even understand the full dune series?
since theres so much hype from newcomers about the dune movie, i am reading the youtube comments and realizing everyone wants star wars 2.0. dune is 90% politics and i dont think americans would even understand whats going on half the time.
also even worse they might get mad because they would feel it was making fun of them
Says the fan of an American book on an American imageboard.
shut up fatty
>would the average american even understand
no
The average Chinese? The average Finnish? The average Albanian? The average Indian? These are the only nations I can think of whom would understand The Dune, American no.
Here's hoping the movie follows the book closely and most of the viewers haven't read it.
Of course, most people never read Lord of the Rings and they enjoyed those movies. They seemed to understand it well enough.
I'll be honest, I've read the first 2 books, couldn't make it through Children of Dune, so it can hardly be said that I understand the series. I was interested mainly in Paul's story and that was good enough for me. Everything else is just padding, as far as I'm concerned.
It's an American book series user. Didn't herbert live near Seattle or some shit?
Turning the Emperor into a space worm was Herbert's biggest mistake.
Turns every Dune newbies interest to zero the moment they hear about it or worse see art (official or otherwise)
>to be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand rick and morty
It's called a pleb filter
exact opposite dude, i almost ditched the series after the first but i stuck around when i heard about pauls son going full space worm
also he has the best arc in the entire series
Disney sois are in for a surprise when they realize the movie is going to be slow, long, and have barely any action scenes
>exact opposite dude, i almost ditched the series after the first but i stuck around when i heard about pauls son going full space worm
This is just as concerning
?iS THAT THE HECKIN JABBARERINNO THE HUNTOOOOOOOO
It's going to make a billion dollars.
Lord of the Rings has an extremely simple story
There won't be a full series, there won't even be a second movie. And the first book is pretty simple anyway.
It'll be John Carter all over again.
The movie ends with Paul & Jessica escaping into the desert and there will NEVER be a part 2 and the franchise will lie dormant for at least another quarter century.
Yeah there's a lot of nonsensical gibberish in Dune but the worm emperor is one of those things that stand out a little more.
The average european wouldn't be allowed to see it, seeing as such depictions are haram.
The book is shit, you don't want it "followed closely".
As a random example: It starts off talking, clumsily, about how robots tried to abort humans and that prompted a civil war which resulted in their quasi-technology ban plus humans-instead-of-computers approach, along with a lengthy bit on the orange catholic bible, but none of that shit matters in the slightest.
The movie gets the idea of the Mentats and the lack of computers across without that shit.
>When I set out to lead humankind along my Golden Path, I promised them a lesson their bones would remember. I know a profound pattern which humans deny with their words even while their actions affirm it. They say they seek security and quiet, the condition they call peace. Even as they speak, they create the seeds of turmoil and violence. If they find their quiet security, they squirm init. How boring they find it. Look at them now. Look at what they do while I record these words. Hah! I give them enduring eons of enforced tranquility which plods on and on despite their every effort to escape into chaos. Believe me, the memory of Leto's Peace shall abide with them forever. They will seed their quiet security thereafter only with extreme caution and steadfast preparation.
the CHOAM organization is blockading ours ships from leaving the planet where we are symbiotes with the uhhh Gungans uhh
The fuck I don't want that. I want the movie to be so close to the book that the fans won't be able to complain and the people who want to wear the title of "nerd" like a badge of honor will be miserable. It's time for nerd culture to atrophy, if not die off completely. All of those conventions need to go back to being held in dingy hotel ballrooms where they're attended by a handful of people who care way too much about a specific thing. That's the future I dream about.
Kek, alright user in that case I approve
>user's Golden Path
That's the true nerd badge. If you hadn't clarified with the second part I'd have considered you in support of normalfaggotry.
>Leave the God Emperor to me
>three thousand years of atreides rule on arrakis
>Corrinos, teilaxu, bene gesseret and harkonen still exist after Pual suposedly killed trillions of people and sterelised planets
It was written by an American so yes. How about brazilians? Or are you just choosing to be obsessed with Americans in particular like always?
he said average america user, or do you think every american has the exact same intelligence?
The human condition is not just to gravitate towards saftey and structure but also to seek symbols and where there are none, create them. Men who are symbols are worth thousands of men who are not and it has always been this way. Whether you're desperate to preserve, revere, sacrifice or exile them actions taken against 'important' people are considered heavily by all involved and often deffered to other 'important' people.
It's why people can kill hundreds of rank and file in a film then get to the final bad guy and say "I'm not gonna kill you, that would make me as bad as you".
In the human mind, only those symbolic people are truly human and relevant; I and they.
>American imageboard.
>American
user, I...
>starts off talking, clumsily, about how robots tried to abort humans
Re-read the section because you got it completely wrong. Humans used to rely on machines to do their thinking for them so became easy to be controlled by other humans . This was confirmed to be the case in the fourth book via Leto.
A machines rebelling was from the expanded universe which was not written by Frank.
I've only read book 1. What is that half sandworm half human thing?
